The battlefield was a scene of carnage, with flesh and blood splattering and mournful cries echoing. Screams of agony pierced the air, shattering the silence that had held this blood pit for nearly an era. In this instant, the torn soldiers' lives were violently extinguished, their blood spattering like rain. The sky above wept blood, and the already crimson-dyed blood pit deepened to a more vivid, dazzling hue. Corpses, ragged and torn, plummeted from the heavens, falling to the earth. Within moments, they were trampled into a bloody pulp, merging with the very ground.
"Extend Qi!"
On his war chariot, Sun Bin spoke, conjuring a golden token. The token scattered countless rays of golden light upon the soldiers of the Qiongqi Legion. Instantly, the morale of the million-strong Qiongqi army surged. They advanced like a unstoppable force, a veritable tide no one could stem. Each soldier roared with bloodlust, their weapons flashing, ferociously cutting through the enemy. With Sun Bin's command, the Qiongqi Legion was transformed, as if reborn. At this moment, no army on the battlefield could withstand the Qiongqi Legion, this sharpest of blades.
"Bang~~"
"Clang~!~"
The cacophony of clashing blades erupted. In an instant, the vanguard of the four great races collapsed like a crumbling wall. The Qiongqi army advanced with irresistible might, their peerless bloodlust shattering enemy formations. The million-strong army carved through the battlefield like a hot knife through butter, splitting it in two.
"Boom!"
Just then, as the Qiongqi Legion sliced through the battlefield, Sun Bin slammed his hand on the war chariot. A thunderous sound echoed as he rapidly flipped through his book, his eyes scanning the pages. As he read, words materialized before him. With a deafening roar, he proclaimed, "Strengthen Soldiers!"
The countless words coalesced into a token, which then enveloped every soldier of the Qiongqi Legion. Brown light surged, and the soldiers' bodies instantly grew, transforming them into giants. Wielding their war blades, this sudden transformation stunned the soldiers of the four great races. On the battlefield, the bloodlust and might of millions of brown giants surged skyward, vast and boundless, like primordial sea creatures. With a thunderous boom, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front raised their blades. With a deafening "bang," the light from all their blades slashed forth, converging at a single point to form a colossal spearhead of might. The combined might of hundreds of thousands of soldiers struck, sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the four great races tumbling into the blood.
On this third battlefield, led by Sun Bin, none of the four great races could find an opponent. The soldiers under Sun Bin's command were as powerful as war gods. Even without any buffs, they were already evenly matched with the armies of the four great races. Under the empowerment of Sun Bin's tokens, the armies of the four great races were utterly incapable of resisting this legion of giants. The roar of battle filled the air. At this moment, a quasi-emperor commanding the armies of the four great races raised his banner. Four distinct imperial patterns on the banner rotated wildly: the Nine Nether Vulture, a humanoid being, a ten-thousand-zhang dragon shadow, and a dark golden figure. Emerging from the formations of the four great races, a colossal arrow appeared in the sky above the battlefield. This arrow radiated four distinct energies, emanating an invincible aura of destruction. At this moment, the arrow seemed to possess the control of an immortal emperor's descent, imposing an unparalleled pressure on the Qiongqi Legion.
"Wild Goose Formation!!"
Seeing the arrow appear, Sun Bin smiled slightly. He reached out and grasped the book in his hand, capturing myriad characters. He opened his mouth, and a golden wild goose flashed upon each soldier. Instantly, the Qiongqi Legion shifted its formation, spreading its wings like a wild goose, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang brown golden shield. Inscribed upon the golden shield were countless characters, representing Sun Bin's comprehension of the grand formation. In the center of the golden shield, an imperial pattern shimmered, as if Sun Bin himself was orchestrating the entire situation.
"Defend!"
A million soldiers roared in unison. The golden shield erupted with terrifying radiance. The general of the four great races holding the military banner's expression tightened. He roared, "Slay!" and swung his banner.
"Boom~~"
The arrow shot out. Countless soldiers of the four great races roared upwards, wishing to sacrifice their very essence. The terrifying energy was like an ancient behemoth, seeking to devour the million-strong Qiongqi army in a single gulp.
"Grand Tutor! Project the space!"
In Chang'an City, Yang Hao spoke softly. He wished to project this great battle to every corner of the Immortal Realm, to let all living beings witness the power of the Great Han's rulers.
"As commanded!"
Guan Zhong raised his hand, and a blue silhouette dispersed into the sky. At this moment, terrifying phantom images of the battlefield appeared in the firmament of the Immortal Realm's four cardinal directions. Beings across the Immortal Realm could now witness the ferocity of this great battle. As all citizens heard the thunderous "boom," the golden shield within the battlefield shattered the arrogant arrow.
"Hook Formation!"
The moment the arrow shattered, Sun Bin spoke again. The Wild Goose Formation instantly transformed. The front row formed a barrier, and the left and right flanks formed hooks. Sun Bin's adjutant blew a horn.
"Woooo~~~"
At this moment, the Qiongqi army became a perfectly circular formation, a death-dealing formation with no front or rear, no left or right. The thousands of horses and soldiers instantly shattered the formations of the four great races. A sword light swept across, and the military banner exploded. In the blink of an eye, the million-strong Qiongqi army, acting as one, changed formations seven or eight times. Each transformation of the grand formation decimated hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers. Within the blood pit, the uneven terrain was filled with flesh and blood. This vast expanse of land resembled a blood pool, and the footsteps of millions of soldiers churned up countless splashes of blood.
"This is simply an overwhelming massacre!"
Within a territory of the Great Han, Ape Ancestor, Zhu Yan, and Wan Ju watched with trembling hearts. They felt as if an ancient being, who had cultivated for ten thousand years, was crushing a newly initiated cultivator. Every attack and killing blow from the soldiers of the four great races was anticipated by the Qiongqi Legion. Not only did they defend adequately, but they also effortlessly took the lives of countless enemies. Only a million-strong Qiongqi Legion had been dispatched, but under Sun Bin's command, it was as if they were an endless army, projecting the might of tens of millions. With the destruction of the military banner, this third battlefield was essentially concluded. The killing aura of the Qiongqi Legion enveloped the entire blood pit. Sun Bin, in his war chariot, floated in the void, surveying the minute details of the battlefield, issuing orders that dictated the life and death of the enemy. At this moment, all beings in the four cardinal directions of the Immortal Realm fell silent.
